    How about a contest for the closest guess to units sold as of tomorrow? The prize can be a Playbook or maybe just a dock or case.

    There is a difference between "shipped" and "sold." Let's see which number RIM gives (if it gives any number at all).

    Hoe can that be? When the experts say they sold that many on opening and
    over 250k the first month beating the Xoom?

    If it is that low, God save RIM as they will be blown apart for it.

    The report yesterday was 416k or so. Pretty good numbers i would say, only the ipad 2 and maybe the transformer would be more or close to that number probably.

    Weird, Kevin's number on the front page was way low at 200k, I think #1 Blackberry Fan Boy has been seeing the glass half empty in recent days, at least publicly in writing. I hope that means he knows some monster hits are on it's way and trying to blow our brains.

    So what's it mean for PlayBook sales? Well, take this as a **feeling** more than fact, but my best guesstimates would put PlayBook owners out there at under 200,000. They may have sold more than that of course, but I do believe the return rate on the PlayBook has been a little on the high side (again, I have a magic blackbox of knowledge for assessing that too). Of course, I'd hope to be wrong here and have RIM announce later this week that they've sold over double that, but I'm really just not seeing it. I do hope they announce PlayBook numbers though. If they don't, it'll be yet another indicator on this one that I'm right. And this is one that I'd love to be wrong on, as I want nothing but RIM to dominate in this market.

    If they only announce shipped numbers and not actual sell through, that's usually a bad sign. Samsung got some bad PR for that with the Galaxy Tab at the end of 2010.

    I live in New York and have never seen a Playbook other than mine out in the wild. I was told by a Best Buy salesman that a lot were coming back (this was near launch though).

    My guess is 500,000 shipped and 200,000 sold.
